To call yourself a gamer means you don't dabble in the occasional video game, you live it. But getting a tattoo of your favorite video game is a way to "level up" that not even I am ready for.

Nintendo seems to hold a special place in the hearts of many gamers, probably because the NES was their entry into a life of all-nighters and tendinitis. It makes sense that if you're gonna immortalize a video game on your body, it's gonna be Nintendo. And it doesn't hurt that Nintendo graphics are some of the most fanciful, animated, and creative ones out there. Thinking about inking yourself with the likes of Mario, Mega Man, or Link?

These are totally epic, Geek. Thanks for sharing! Personally, I've got a few gaming tattoos planned myself, so I am definitely down with this crowd! As far as I'm concerned, gaming is as much of a way of life as say, being a hardcore biker.
And honestly, I think once you've inked yourself with gaming imagery, you've crossed the line into hardcore gamer territory instead of just 'gamer'.
